The number of students diagnosed with anxiety in its many forms has increased in Hong Kong over the last few years. Although schools do have the responsibility to take care of their students, they are caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to ensuring they are able to maintain the requirements set forth by the EDB, of which student attendance for advancement is a key factor.
